Storage and containment are where dosing systems pass or fail their safety and compliance audit. We design the bulk and day storage, the bunding, the material selection, the fill and venting arrangements, and the COSHH/DSEAR controls as an integral part of every dosing system — so the reagent is stored safely, contained on spill, and compatible for its whole service life.
Sized for delivery logistics and control, in a compatible material.
Bulk storage is sized on consumption and delivery interval (see sizing); a day tank gives a controlled, often diluted, working volume feeding the pumps. Both must be made of a material rated for the reagent at working strength and temperature — the wrong polymer or grade of steel fails slowly and then suddenly.
Sized for delivery interval with safety margin; level monitoring, high/low alarms and overfill protection.
Controlled working volume, often diluted for turndown; isolatable from bulk for maintenance.
Where neat strength is impractical — polymer ageing, acid/caustic dilution — add to water, never the reverse.
Heat-tracing/lagging for reagents that crystallise (caustic, lime) or thicken when cold.
Contain the worst case, alarm the leak, protect the operator.
Acids and hypochlorite must never share containment — a mixed spill liberates chlorine gas. Segregate storage, bunds and fill points, and label clearly.
Dedicated, labelled, keyed fill points with overfill alarm/cut-out prevent the classic wrong-tank delivery incident.
COSHH, DSEAR and operator protection built in, not bolted on.
Emergency eyewash and shower within reach; PPE storage; safe sampling and maintenance access.
Tank venting, vapour scrubbing or absorption for volatile reagents; gas detection where needed.
Zoning and rated equipment where reagents are flammable or form explosive atmospheres — see ATEX.
Substance assessment, signage, SDS access and compatible-storage matrix as part of the design pack.
We design compliant storage and containment — tanks, bunding, fill, venting and safety — as part of the dosing system, so it passes audit and protects your people and site.
